From the yearly Lecture Series to outreach, M.B.S.H. organizes and hosts talks and workshops open to all Harvard graduate students. Events organized by M.B.S.H. are emailed out to the mailing list and featured in the M.B.S.H. bi-weekly newsletter.

Annual Lecture

M.B.S.H. has a yearly tradition of hosting a special Guest Lecture, given by an accomplished researcher from an under-represented group in the biomedical sciences. This event is open to the public and is an opportunity to increase the visibility of minorities in science.

In 2014, M.B.S.H. will be hosting the Second Annual Jocelyn Spragg Lecture, "Celebrating Diversity in the Biomedical Sciences". Details for the Lecture, Panel Discussion and Reception can be found below.

Outreach

M.B.S.H. recognizes that an important way of countering the lack of minorities and women in science is to increase the interest of young people in this field. Featured opportunities for involvement include participation in Science Club Mentors and Citizen Schools which place graduate students in biomedical sciences in middle schools to encourage young students continued interests in science and mathematics. Additionally, opportunities exist for members to participate in the various REU programs on campus including SHURP, CURE, and SCTRP.

M.B.S.H. also recognizes that outreach does not end with building student interests in the biomedical sciences. The group frequently highlights opportunities for community involvement and in 2012 organized a volunteer effort and food drive to benefit Rosie’s Place Boston. If you have any ideas for community involvement, please send suggestions to KeyAnna Schmiedl at schmiedl@fas.harvard.edu.
